    God gives joy to those who abide in Him which is not dependent on circumstances but is actually compatible with pain.

    Years ago I spent the last four months of seminary in the Clinical Pastoral Education program or CPE as a chaplain on the third floor of Central Baptist Hospital. It was a great experience, but not one that suited me too well. I was assigned to the respiratory ward where people were mostly ...read more

    This message is about the present day proliferation in the body of Christ of so called prophets

    From the above scripture you can see Apostle Paul’s stands against familiar spirits. Is high time for us to wake up to the challenges of our time. Though there may be casualties in the process but we can’t stand aloof and see the devil reducing the intergrity of God’s word, the ...read more

    Wood That's Good For Nothing Series

    Contributed by David Wilson on May 19, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,216 views

    God asks a series of rhetorical questions designed to get the people facing the sad fact that despite being called by God they were no better than the nations around them. In fact, because they refused to bear proper fruit they were worthless to God.

    VERSES 1-5: Israel as a Vine Ezekiel was not the first prophet to refer to Israel as a vine. We see this in the song of the vineyard that is found in Isaiah 5. Also, as we study this chapter, it would be good to remember Jesus offered a reference of Himself as the true vine and the need for us ...read more

    Being good is a work of God, therefore focus on Christ. Being good is more than doing good, watch your motives. Being good is not being nice, speak the truth in love.

    Luke 6:43-45 43 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. 45 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil ...read more

    Rest in God's faithfulness. We can only be faithful to the One who is truly faithful. Value faithfulness, not results. God looks for faithfulness. Therefore discover what God wants you to do and be faithful in little things.

    Deut 7:9 “Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.” Faithfulness is a continuous, unrelenting devotion to a faithful God. • Our faithfulness is ...read more

    Just before Jesus took Him place in Heaven He told the disciples to wait. They were to wait for the Holy Spirit to give them power. Today, Jesus may still be telling us to wait for His power. We must take a position of prayer and patience until the Holy S

    Where is God? God is everywhere all the time? God’s omnipresence is a doctrine we may know in our heads, but there is some great implications of this for mankind and especially those who have trusted in Jesus as Savior!

    Where is God? He is Everywhere! Psalms 139:7-12 Introduction Slide Have you ever been in a situation where you felt all alone, a time when you felt that there was nobody around for you?

    It is so easy to isolate all of our conflicts to the physical realm but behind each of these conflicts there are spiritual influences.

    Wrestling with Spirits Ephesians 6:10-17 In the mist of conflicts we struggle oftentimes as the world does and often the results are the same. God tells that though we view these struggles as being physical there are spiritual influences behind them all. Vs.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and ...read more

     | 10,009 views

    It is quite clear that the church is under attack. It’s open season on pastors and the entire church as well. It is almost as if the world system is pushing the church into a corner and challenging the church to produce its credentials

    4 The Lord will wash away the filth from the daughters of Zion. He will wash away the blood from Jerusalem. With a spirit of judgment that burns like fire, he will make everything pure. 5 Then the Lord will create a cloud of smoke in the day and a bright flame of fire at night over every building ...read more

    “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other” Gal. 5:16-17.

    Walk faithfully in the Lord Text: 2 Kings 2:6-14; Gal. 5:13-25; Luke 9:51-62 Man is a spirit, he possesses a soul and he lives in a body. The body can be likened to the clothes we wear.

    I stand at the door Revelation 3:20-3:22 Introduction- Last week we looked at letting the Holy Spirit work in our lives. Sometimes I feel I need to preach the same message twice in a row so we get it. Paul said that he “resolved to know nothing while he was with them except Jesus ...read more

    God transforms us from the inside out. All Christ-followers are in the midst of this transformation, and at the same time, raw as we are, we reflect the Lord’s glory. Go figure.

    Nature is an incredible thing. Most of us have likely had our breath taken away at the site of something in creation.
